The Militaristic Republic of Star Winter is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Draco Rex with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.618 billion Star Winterians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 4 Seasons. The average income tax rate is 63.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Star Winterian economy, worth 276 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,648 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Father of the House has been in office just shy of a fortnight, a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', the nation is wading into dangerous waters, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Star Winter's national animal is the Dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christianity.

Star Winter is ranked 128,998^th in the world and 2,733^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 852.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
